you guys told me "Arrested Development" was awesome

if someone else dislikes Arrested Development, it might be Mirezzi

yeah, you cant go around liking things if you want to appear truly knowledgable about film.

Pretty much anything GOB says or does.

 

 

the chicken dance

his magic act any of the many times he performed it

gob and franklin- "it ain't easy being white or brown"

gob's chipped tooth

segway

etc...

 

 

 

"I seen Pineapple Express in a double-feature wrap with Joe Dirt at the Wal-Mart."

 

^Reason I will spend no more than a dollar to watch it, if I ever decide to.

 

My wife keeps telling me I would like Arrested Development.  But I've never been impressed by Jason Bateman or the kid that got Juno preggers.

Bateman isn't the comedy relief, he's there to hold everything together.

The kid from Juno is awkward funny, not emo/indy funny in that abysmal catastrophe known as "Juno".

Oh, is it his Hancock character again?  I hated that character.

bateman is one of the best on the show, his timing is impeccable.

But he acts like an actor that knows he's funny.  I hate that.

"Taste the happiness Michael!"

"Tastes a lot like sad."

sitcoms suck in general. arrested development doesn't have a laugh track, though, so that's worth a couple points.

maybe you should just stick with gilmore girls and desperate housewives

 

CHACHI! CHACHI! CHACHI!

i dont get this show either. never found it funny

maybe humor just isn't for goths?

This really is one of the best things about it. It lets you be surprised by all the jokes/gags since there isn't the obvious "audience response."

watmm... what the fuck?

 

i just watched the first 5 episodes... is there something wrong with me? or this maybe even isn't supposed to be funny? i got TWO lols in those 5 episodes. TWO. and don't ask me what they were, cause i forgot.

 

watmm, please explain.

 

 

 

the writing in AD is not only hilarious, it's smart as well. Kokoon, i would give it some more time to get to know the characters then go back and rewatch it from the start once you're realizing how funny everything is. almost everything is perfect from camarawork to lines to delivery to props to character development.

 

 

just posting to add to the "omg arrested development is amazing" count.

it shouldnt take any time to get into, if you dont immediately find arrested development funny you are a fucking humorless faggot and should probably go ahead and kill yourself.

 

just saying.

yeah, 5 episodes seems like enough to know whether or not you like it. the show became an instant classic for me, easily among the funniest tv shows made.
